Network verification has been recently proposed to detect network misconfigurations. Existing work focuses on the reachability. This paper proposes a framework that verifies the Service Level Agreement (SLA) compliance of the network using static verification. This work proposes a quantitative model and a set of algorithms for verifying performance properties of a network with switches and middleboxes,...
In this paper the mathematical model of multicast routing of flows with support shared explicit reservation of link resources is proposed. The proposed model consists of a linear expressions, which are responsible for providing the connectivity of the calculated multicast routes, and also the absence of loops in them. The novelty of the model is the using of conditions of prevention the congestion...
The paper proposes a method of hierarchical QoS routing based on reservation of network resources. It describes the case of organization of distributed source routing when one of the border routers consistently solves two interconnected network tasks: calculation of the required routes and determination of the allocation order of link resource to be reserved in order to meet end-to-end QoS-requirements...
The Fast ReRoute flow-based model has been improved, where the node and link protection schemes in the linear form were formulated with the implementation of single path and multipath routing strategies. The use of linear-quadratic optimality criterion was substantiated, and the system hierarchy relations of weight coefficients in the objective function were determined with the aim to ensure maximum...
In this paper, we investigate multi-quality of service (QoS) routing and spectrum assignment in elastic optical networks (EONs) by utilizing network state information in terms of bandwidth usage and holding time of established connections. Toward this aim, two types of traffic, namely big data traffic (BDT) requests, and fixed rate flow requests (FLRs) are considered, where BDTs can tolerate a pre-determined...
The rise of Over The Top (OTT) content providers and the introduction of numerous applications has been driving the growth of mobile data traffic in the past few years. The applications' various Quality of Service (QoS) requirements as well as the use of multiple devices per user have increased the traffic heterogeneity, pressing the telecommunications industry to the deployment of 5G networks in...
In this paper, the spectrum sharing in both licensed and unlicensed bands under heterogeneous networks (HetNets) is investigated. A frame architecture of licensed-assisted access (LAA) in unlicensed bands is introduced by analyzing its statistical behavior of channel access opportunity. A multi-objective optimization problem is then designed for small cell to enhance energy efficiency by jointly maximizing...
Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is a recently standardized technology to support machine-type communications (MTC) in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) Pro networks. NB-IoT can enable energy-efficient communication with extended coverage on a narrow bandwidth of 180 kHz for low-cost MTC devices (MTCDs). The main challenge of supporting MTC in LTE-A Pro networks is to provide connectivity...
With Network Function Virtualization (NFV), network functions are deployed as modular software components on the commodity hardware, and can be further chained to provide services, offering much greater flexibility and lower cost of the service deployment for the network operators. At the same time, replacing the network functions implemented in purpose built hardware with software modules poses a...
Heterogeneous cloud radio access network (H-CRAN) is proposed as a cost-effective paradigm to meet the ever-increasing mobile data traffic demand, where the key idea is applying cloud computing technologies in a heterogeneous network (HetNet) to improve both spectral and energy efficiencies of the cellular system. In this paper, we investigate how to provide as many as possible users with QoS-guaranteed...
Software-Defined Networking (SDN) can be applied for managing application flows dynamically by a logically centralized SDN controller and SDN switches. Because SDN switch only support a few thousand installations of a forwarding rule per second, its poor performance becomes a bottleneck for dynamic and scalable application flow management. For this reason, reducing the number of flows is needed to...
In this work, we have introduced a fault tolerant IaaS resource management framework for networked cloud Infrastructure. Distributed multiple cloud provider sites (i.e. datacenters) are interconnected with software defined network (SDN). Both datacenter and SDN resources are allocated by formulating and solving integer linear programming based virtual network embedding problem. Two reactive traffic...
Delivering committed traffic Quality of Service (QoS) per Service Level Agreement (SLA) requires support of critical intelligent traffic management features in LTE eNodeB (and future 5G access nodes), such as Uplink Traffic Shaping and Congestion and Admission Control (CAC). This paper highlights the motivation and merits of uplink traffic shaping in preserving QoS levels per traffic categories over...
Deploying composite applications to Fog nodes in a QoS-and context-aware manner is challenging due to the heterogeneity and scale of Fog infrastructures. Application components must be provided with the software and hardware capabilities they need. Communication links that support interactions between components must meet certain QoS (latency and bandwidth). On the other hand, different Fog and Cloud...
The Heterogeneous Wireless Network is a hierarchical structure of different wireless networks. The wireless networks are differ in terms of network coverage, capacity, bandwidth, technology and network operator. In such an environment when a mobile terminal equipped with multiple network interfaces leaves one wireless network and connect to another different wireless network, a Vertical Handoff (VHO)...
In software defined networks, control plane is decoupled from data plane and is directly programmable. Network controller retrieves an integrated view of data plane and thus an End-to-End (E2E) QoS guarantee is easier to realize than classic network paradigms. Deterministic Network Calculus (DNC) is a network analysis tool to provide a deterministic delay or bandwidth bound. In this proposal, an E2E...
This paper presents a novel hybrid ant colony optimization approach (ACO&CM) to solve quality of service (QoS) multicast routing problem. The main feature of this hybrid algorithm is to hybridize the solution construction mechanism of the ACO with cloud model (CM). Moreover, the hybrid algorithm considers both solution diversification and solution quality, and it adopts cloud model to avoid excessive...
New applications where anyone can broadcast video are becoming very popular on smartphones. With the advent of high definition video, ISP providers may take the opportunity to propose new high quality broadcast services to their clients. Because of its centralized control plane, Software Defined Networking (SDN) seems an ideal way to deploy such a service in a flexible and bandwidth-efficient way...
When dealing with Quality of Experience (QoE) and in particular perceptual quality assessment and modeling, averaging is a common occurrence. For instance, the most commonly used measure of QoE is the aptly-called Mean Opinion Score (MOS), which is intended to represent an idealized average subject's rating of the quality. Another form of averaging occurs when choosing and preparing the samples used...
Software Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualisation provide significantly more flexibility and control when provisioning QoS for delay sensitive services. Network delay can have a detrimental impact on VoIP quality and, therefore, minimising delay can help maintain the quality and prevent call dropping. This paper proposes a queuing scheme based on packet delay for prioritising VoIP calls...
